Tatoo your name across my heart, so it will remain / not even death could make us part / what kind is it / It could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare / either way I don't want to wake up from you.
The best thing is looking back and realizing how good life is. If you don't take the time to think about it and analyze it, you'll never realize all the dots that are connected.
I think I've realized that business and being polite [don't] match. You can be fair, but me being polite was not me being fair to myself.
I'm always thinking about women, and what we need to hear. It's difficult being a woman. It's so much pressure, and we need that support sometimes and we need that escape sometimes.
Thank God for my computer. Sometimes when there is no one to talk to, I talk aloud so that I can get all my thoughts out and try to figure out the issues that I'm having and try, I'm trying to find the answers.
I think people have an idea in their heads about entertainers[and] celebrities. I think they feel like their lives are so perfect, and it's really hard to go through painful experiences when you are in the public eye because it's hard to have closure.
I was thinkin if I cheated on my fears, broke up with my doubts, got engaged to my faith. I can marry my dreams.
I work closely with a number of charities from food pantries to drug rehabilitation to natural disaster relief to preventing sexual exploitation of young girls. It is one of the most rewarding things I do.
My parents taught my sister and me the importance of giving back and making a difference in another person's life.
I never imagined I would be in a film with Steve Martin. I was a little star struck, because I grew up watching his movies.
The Pink Panther is legendary, but a lot of people my age haven't ever seen the original. So, I think it's great to bring it back for my generation, and to expose them to where that theme song which still sounds so modern and that legendary image of a pink cat came from. It's great to be a part of that, because it's history.
I love the Backstreet Boys! I think they're very talented and I think their harmony is wonderful.
I want to be a legend, like Celine Dion.
Elvis is iconic; a lot of performers today look to that for inspiration.
